'People who leave Scotland,...

...and then return, help to increase economic growth

and the size of the population in Scotland since they tend to be younger, better qualified and more likely to be in work than the general Scottish population andare likely to be in better jobs. Leaving, even for a short period, and laterreturning to Scotland appears to be beneficial for those involved, as they aremore likely to return to better jobs than those who stay in Scotland.'
